The chairman explained that palm wine tapping is the major occupation of the people of the community, saying Igboezee North is the highest producers of palm wine in the world.
Ezeja Igbo-Eze urged investors to come and package the palm wine.
He said, “our palm wine is the best in the country and by extension, the world over. We have thousands and thousands of these palm wine trees all around us in the council. However, we lack the financial muscle to harness it and showcase it to the rest of the world through export.
“As a council, we are ready to assist investors to achieve their target as they explore the marketability and exportability of our tasty palm wine.
“Vast portions of our land are still fertile and remain virgin lands, to enhance agricultural produce. In short, no investment in agriculture and agro-allied investments in the council would ever be regretted.”
